The Magic Kingdom is a Walt Disney World theme park in Orlando, Florida, that is enjoyed by millions of visitors every year. When you visit Disney World, staying at a resort nearby can be half the fun. Extend your Magic Kingdom experience beyond the theme park gates by staying at a neighboring Disney World resort.
A few short miles from Magic Kingdom, you'll find Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Guestrooms are arranged in six Caribbean "villages": Trinidad North and South, Martinique, Barbados, Aruba and Jamaica. Each village has a two-story building with individual swimming pools and playgrounds. Some guestrooms feature pirate influences with ship beds, bright green armoires and buccaneer accessories. In-room amenities include high speed Internet access (for a surcharge), satellite TVs and refrigerators. The highlight of the resort is Old Port Royale, an area that continues the pirate theme with stone walls and pirate cannons and has restaurants, lounges, game rooms, shops, and pools with water slides.
